| The New York TimesAndy WebsterMr. Diez, a former effects specialist, skillfully blends viscous textures with cheesy digital flourishes. The screenwriter, Adam Aresty, also earns points for the dialogue’s blithe hit-or-miss humor. But it’s Tilman Hahn’s sound design, with its unsettling buzz, that will burrow most unforgettably into your memory. |
| Village VoiceMichael NordineThough quite silly, none of this feels self-reflexive or -satisfied. It delights in its own stupidity the way a dog rolls in dirt, but is nearly as difficult to get mad at after it muddies up the rug. |
| Slant MagazineChuck BowenThe filmmakers maintain a tone that's mostly ideal for the contemporary equivalent of a drive-in movie: of reverent, parodic irreverence. |
| The Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeDiez's effects teams have tremendous fun with the gory ways they tear through their hosts' bodies when it's time to leave the chrysalis behind. |
| VarietyDennis HarveyIn a movie that should have gone for funnier or scarier (ideally both), there’s way too much eventual emphasis on the leads’ uninspired evolving romance. |
| The A.V. ClubJesse HassengerPaul and Julia can rescue each other, but they need more help pulling Stung out of "Tremors" and "Party Down"’s combined shadow. |
| Los Angeles TimesMartin TsaiUnfortunately, the human relationships depicted here are less credible than the solid special effects. |
| RogerEbert.comSimon AbramsUntil tepid animal-attack flick Stung, I had never thought to wish for a horror movie protagonist to not be rewarded with a make-out session at film's end. |
| New York Daily NewsJoe NeumaierDirector Benni Diez tries for schlock shocks in this giant-bug flick. Sadly, what’s left out here is the fun. |
| User Reviewbrentwshelton1I thought the movie was great with right amount of blood splatter along with ridiculous "origin explanation" of whete the mutants came from. Quite honestly, if im going to watch a b movie about giant mutant wasps attacking a garden party - im not expecting a lot of depth to the plot. This film had good effects, not the typical cast of characters, and a (slightly expected) twist at end. A great late night monster flick. Actually reminded me a bit of 8-legged freaks. |
